It would really suck if covering them was the cause of injury, or worse, in an accident. Airbags save lives when they operate correctly, but they can also seriously mame, or kill, if altered.

A question worth looking into.

This something we considered, however the truck will primarily be used by myself as the driver, and way more off-road use than on road. When I have passengers, it is because I am off-road. My wife will never really get in the truck, when we go out, we always take her car.

I definitely don't recommend this is something that others do. As a matter of fact, I believe it is somewhat against the law in the US. I live in MX, so per above, not so worried about it.

BTW, The airbag is not covered, it was removed.

Please do not do this at home. I would also warn anyone who would consider this that doing this also voids warranty on the truck. Again something that did not concern me, but should be carefully considered.
